Is it me, or do all englishmen sound like they have colds? Is it flu season in Britain???

One of them coughs constantly, the other sounds like he has a runny nose (or a blocked nose)...

Everyone is sick over there!!!

But nicely done, nice interviews anyhow!

Having your Wife get gammer score points is not cheat especially if they want to do it for you. Whenever my sons play a kids game I always log them in under my gamer tag. No use wasting the Gamer score on a game I won't play.

The swearing sound effect was a bit loud in the Mirror's Edge interview. Just mute/leave a blanc space please next time please. It scared me while driving.

Not everyone has a DS yet e. There's 1 in every 6 household's in the US. A lot of Kids are just starting to get them now, I just bought my sons one in September for his birthday. Also the Mario Red DS bundle will sell a ton this Christmas.

I had the glitch again where my zune played the podcast back twice as fast when I first started it up, which was especially hilarious with this weeks intro....

Major ummm Maxim Radio did survive the Channel merge. It's sitting on my radio and online as well... Or was it just the show that got cut?

@Maj I'm not sure WHERE I took this url from to find mine, but is majornelson.com going to also upgrade to NXE GamerTag Cards like this: http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/big/warrengonline.png That'd be great!

Hey Major,

How about getting someone from the Backwards Compatibility team on your show, to "officially" pronounce the project dead so that those of us still hoping for one more update can finally move on with our lives.

I think that Mrs Major Nelson = Major Nelson. So it isn't cheating.

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24)

In the event of a divorce, a wife can claim rights to your gamertag if achievements were earned by her on said gamertag...

Yo Major... I let my wife get me achievements for certain games as well. It's definitely not cheating :-)

Just a quick Q, is Name The Game open to US citizens only or is it open to the whole universe (ie. UK)? If it's not open to everyone then I'll not keep entering, but if it is then I will (check that out for logic). You don't state whether or not it's a full open comp on the show and can't find anything obvious on your site saying anything about it. Let me know. Anyway, love the show, keep up the good work, it gives me something to listen to when I'm bored working (which is most of the time, fancy making a daily podcast?). Yeah, Christian "rock" sucks, I don't like it and I'm a Christian. Not really sure who does like it, it's horrible. Not exactly classifiable as music in my opinion.

@e You're bet is on Gears of War 2 for the No. 1 Title of December 2008? Hmmm... Did you forget about Left 4 Dead, Rock Band and Call of Duty: World at War? Good show as always. Maj, the Mortar is fun "Sky Fire!" the longer you hold the RT button for a longer range like PAT2K9 suggested. Firing it in succession (with Active Reloading) by a few degrees is most the effective. I can't give away more than that as The River is where it is the most creative. And if you don't know, don't be a sitting duck, all one has to do is look at the sky, wait until you fire to give out your location.

TYPO: Holding down RT "will" get "you" up to 150m in range.
